BATH — Twenty-five contestants ages 2-18 competed in the Steuben County Federation of Conservation Clubs Annual Youth Turkey Calling Contest held at the Federation’s building on the Steuben County Fair Grounds on Wednesday, Aug. 15.

All the contestants did a commendable job at imitating the vocalizations of the wild turkey as they reproduced clucks, yelps, purrs, and a call of their choice. Contestants were divided by age with Poults representing the 10 and under contestants and Jakes representing the 11-18 contestants.

In the Jakes (ages 11-18) division, Samuel Warren of Almond was first, with Connor Warren of Almond second and Hunter Murphy of Angelica third.

In the Poults (10 and under) division, Evelyn Warren of Almond was first, with Karoline Dininny of Howard second and Nick Wise of Avoca third.

Prizes were sponsored by Conhocton Valley Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Bill Bartle calls, Mike Warren Turkey Calls, and the Steuben County Federation of Conservation Clubs.
